{{Monster Infobox |title=Gloomnivore |image=[[File:Gloomnivore artwork.png]] |caption= Art by [[Akira Toriyama]] |kanji=γγ―γΌγ’γΉ |romanji=Bakumosu |old=None |firstappear=''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'' }} The '''Gloomnivore''' is a despair-devouring monster introduced in the eleventh game. It bears the bestial shape as the [[Franticore]] family, but possesses the ability to speak. ==Appearances== ==={{DQ11}}=== The Gloomnivore is encountered in the second act of the game in the depths of the Dundrasil ruins, where is feasts on the misery of the late [[King Irwin]]. It explains that it feeds on the negative emotions of humans, and that the tragedies Irwin has suffered during [[Mordegon]]'s assault on Dundrasil has left him overflowing with anguish, allowing it to eat for sixteen years. [[Rab]] is enraged at the beast for treating his son-in-law like such, and leads the fight against it. The monster is encountered in the same place during the third act, but has received a substantial power boost thanks to the awakening of [[Calasmos]]. {{DQ11Enemy |name=Gloomnivore |kanji= γγ―γΌγ’γΉ |romanji= |bestiaryNumber=#282 |family={{Beast}} |description=This cruel creature spent a lifetime gorging itself on the suffering of men, and found a particularly repast in the form of King Irwin's tragic fate. |sprite=[[File:Gloomnivore XI sprite.png]] |hp=2,750 |mp=999 |attack=241 |defense=300 |agility=100 |exp=12,000 |gold=8,000 |spells=[[Kazam]] |skills=Occasionally acts twice per turn<br>[[Double Up]]<br>[[Malevolent Miasma]]<br>[[Sleep Attack]] |items=None |locations=[[Ruins of Dundrasil]] |evasion=N/A |fire-resist=25% |ice-resist=-110% |wind-resist=0% |rock-resist=0% |light-resist=0% |dark-resist=50% |zap-resist=-125% |drain-resist=0% |whack-resist=100% |poof-resist=100% |poison-resist=0% |paralysis-resist=50% |fuddle-resist=100% |snooze-resist=25% |dazzle-resist=25% |sap-resist=0% |blunt-resist=0% |deceleratle-resist=0% |spooky-aura-anthamatize-resist=0% |fizzle-resist=50% |stun-resist=99% |stumble-resist=0% |charm-resist=100% |beguile-resist=100% |double-down-resist=0% |elemental-resist=0% }} {{DQ11Enemy |name=Malicious gloomnivore |kanji= |romanji= |bestiaryNumber=#477 |family={{Beast}} |description=Made more deadly by the darkness, he's now hell-bent on making all mankind as miserable as Irwin was so he can dine on its despair. |sprite=[[File:Gloomnivore XI sprite.png]] |hp=5,250 |mp=999 |attack=421 |defense=440 |agility=289 |exp=36,000 |gold=12,000 |spells=[[Kazammle]]<br>[[Oomph]] |skills=Occasionally acts twice<br>[[Malevolent Miasma]]<br>[[Sleep Attack]] |items=None |locations=[[Ruins of Dundrasil]] |evasion=N/A |fire-resist=25% |ice-resist=-110% |wind-resist=0% |rock-resist=0% |light-resist=0% |dark-resist=50% |zap-resist=-125% |drain-resist=0% |whack-resist=100% |poof-resist=100% |poison-resist=0% |paralysis-resist=50% |fuddle-resist=100% |snooze-resist=25% |dazzle-resist=25% |sap-resist=0% |blunt-resist=0% |deceleratle-resist=0% |spooky-aura-anthamatize-resist=0% |fizzle-resist=75% |stun-resist=99% |stumble-resist=0% |charm-resist=100% |beguile-resist=100% |double-down-resist=0% |elemental-resist=0% }} ==={{DQMSL}}=== {{Stub}} ==Etymology== *The Gloomnivore's name is a combination of ''Gloom'', meaning a sensation of deep sadness, and ''Carnivore''. *The ''Baku'' in the monster's Japanese name might allude to an evil inversion of the youkai [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baku_(mythology) Baku]. This creature eats the nightmares of people so that they can sleep peacefully, where as the Gloomnivore traps its victims in an endless nightmare. ==Similar species== *[[Franticore]] *[[Infanticore]] *[[Manticore]] *[[WhiteLion]] ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Gloomnivore XI model.jpg|XI model File:Gloomnivore super light data.jpg|Super Light data </gallery> [[Category:Dragon Quest XI enemies]] [[Category:Dragon Quest Monsters: Super Light enemies]]
